Howdy Braintrust,
TBH is probably the best place in the world for crowd sourcing when it comes to questions like this.
So the missus wants to replace our tub with a walk in shower. I'm a pretty handy feller, and hope to do most of the work myself. A few questions...
1. The new shower drain location will be about 24-28 inches from where the original tub drain was. So, with this in mind, I am thinking I will need to add a p-trap below the new shower drain location. Would this be correct? We are on a pier and beam foundation so pretty easy access. I am guessing we have 2 inch cast iron drain pipe as our house was built in the late '50's.
2. We have seen these new fancy shower heads that come straight from the ceiling over head. Are they really all that great? Or should we stick with the one that comes out of the wall? Any you guys have experience with those overhead shower heads that you no longer like or care for and if so why? I ain't never stayed in a fancy dancy hotel that has them.
I'll probably have a few more questions when I start the tear out. But if you guys have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate if you could share them
thanks in advance,
P
